The transmission sound like it's an Aisan AT6 with the torque converter replaced by a clutch pack and an electric motor combination. IMO, it's a much better unit than the Punch offered in Europe. I'm hoping that the new leadership team now gives the Auburn Hills people the same autonomy which they give to South America. The hybrid setup in the Cherokee offers some encouragement.

I also see that the GSE series of engines lives on in Latin America.

Does South America not get the new Compass?

Not right away. The new Compass is a size larger. So far the next Compass is only an EV sold in Europe.
